I love Easton a lot, but I think Jimmy Page, Alex Lifeson, John Sykes, George Lynch, Robbin Crosby, Warren DiMartini, Steve Clark, Adrian Vandenberg, Brad Gillis, Jake E. Lee, Vivian Campbell, Neal Schon, Matt Pike, Dimebag Darrell, John 5, Randy Rhodes etc are right at the top!
Holy shit, this is pure gold!!!! It's absolutely ridiculous considering just how huge this band was at the time, that there is virtually no pro shot concert from this period. Thank you so much for sharing this!
Wow!!! This is the clearest video I’ve ever from any live event that Van Halen did in 1984. For some reason, 1984 seemed to be the year of either no video footage at all or really blurry and bad quality images of any band but for some reason, especially VH in ‘84. Great video!
saw them around this time, eddie just owned the stage, he was mesmerizing when he soloed, he was just better than everyone else, the thing about all his amazing talents and tricks was they were always musical, a lot of people could do tricks but that's all they were, eddie turned his tricks into melodies.
There was a part here where he was making different notes with a whammy bar lowered note, smiling like it was funny... I laughed too. Then he played the same melody up high ! I'll rewatch and add time with an edit. (edit) it's at 3:50
Thank you for being a Greek among Romans. I also think Eddie's genius is misunderstood by those who only pay attention to the "fancy stuff" going off like fireworks at the fairgrounds... and completely miss everything else.. Ya can't fix em..😂🤘
May you rest in peace Sir Edward van Halen pure genius nobody before or after will never come close to your of mastery of guitar big inspiration to me just so sad you are no longer with us but I carry you in my heart every 24/7thank you for giving us the pleasure of you in my life
I just came to check the comments before commenting that this solo is really unusual, I am a huge fan and I've never heard a lot of this. Usually on the stuff I've heard he sticks roughly to a basic plan that repeats. This has the standard sections but a lot that is different(including the out of tune section haha).
100% totally agreed. Much better than any of the later solos. Something about his energy, just purely, charismatic and on fire and on top of this game.
I have no idea of the technical stuff fans are relating to - but to hear Eddie riff the blues is just killer! This is the most amazing and interesting solo I have heard from him …. RIP the King ❤
As a drummer of 44 years, my influences are Ringo, Neil Peart, and Krupa. I gravitate toward rock for sure, and with jazz techniques mixed in. I’ve played in many bands over the decades, and with countless guitarists. Many who are great virtuosos and many who are very good, and others who have classical training. Most being over 90 percent agree that, while Eddie did not create tapping or hammer’ons, Eddie did something groundbreaking; he RAN WITH IT and did things that the whole world watched and learned from and emulated. THAT is why, in my opinion, Eddie should be revered as at least one of the top 3 rock (or more) guitarists of all time. Most people can copy, but to pioneer with imagination and technique developing non-stop; that is what Eddie should be forever known for.
My room was covered in VH posters (the big ones) and articles all of which I still have today. I have come to like Ed’s rhythm playing a thousand times more than his lead playing.
👍Had that swing and groove. EVH is the all time riff lord, as far as I'm concerned. I enjoyed his rhythm playing the most. I Love all VH! The Fair Warning album especially showcased how insanely great he was at rhythm!
Just when you think you've seen it all...This is probably the only video of Eddie playing the blues. His hands were moving so fast and with so much strength and purpose by this point in his playing. It's interesting comparing this with the 5150-era 'Live Without a Net' solo which is more polished and structured, yet maybe a bit less organic and powerful. Really nice lighting too compared to L.W.A.N which is pretty dark. This video is probably the best showcase of his 1984-era chops. Thanks for uploading this; I hope you'll upload the rest.
It’s 2 am, I took melatonin, getting ready to get to sleep, I watched this and got my PRS out, plugged it into my Fender Super Champ (with about a third of its original output after frying something) and sent pre-amp out to my Carvin bass amp to make it louder. I have no life.
There is a pedal board below his mike stand. Watch it again. There is a fleeting moment you can see it. He tapped it to do the Cathedral like part of his solo.
Well I've never seen this that's for sure. This also shows that Ed did NOT do the same solo at all every night. He really changed it up here compared to the solos I've seen. LOVE IT!
Awesome man, definitely recorded off the dry cab of his w/d/w system. He played so clean back then, every note is right there. Most of us got that wrong.
August 18, 1984. Full set: Unchained, Hot for Teacher, On Fire, Runnin' With the Devil, Little Guitars, House of Pain, I'll Wait, Everybody Wants Some, Oh Pretty Woman, 1984, Jump, [this video], Panama, You Really Got Me.
Thank you… Please be sure to share this as somebody who does not own this video got it taken down momentarily through a strike request… Unbelievable what people will do
This show is right before the band imploded. It wasn't just David about to leave the band, it's also almost exactly two months after Dave, Ed and Alex made Michael Anthony resign a contract with the band that excluded him from future royalties and limited his earning potential. Yet he still seems happier to be there than any other band member. The "all for one and one for all" spirit of the band was completely gone by this point - but God, they sounded great.
@@donavonmacallister3101 The contract was dated 20/06/1984 and there is a scanned copy of it on the internet with David Lee Roth's and Michael Anthony's signature on it.
Yet Mike Anthony leans into Ed to give him props for great solo. Amid all the chaos the band was if nothing else very professional on stage. In the pre-internet days they had most of us believing they were one big happy family.
@@daveyboy8907 today it's mainly crack but before that started to come on the scene the powder was so cut your nose would become clogged like you inhaled pancake batter. Terrible.
@celticlightning9703 lol I bet Eddie's wasn't he probably had the best dealer money could buy.I heard he paid for his dealer to fly to other countries when he played them so he didn't have to transport mass amounts.
@DVincentW A brutal but honest assessment...Van Halen was never considered metal. Although Fair Warning is extremely heavy in parts.. One Foot Out The Door is an amazing track!!.
That solo is so different from his usual routine it had to go something like this Man 1 on side of the stage: "What the fuck is Eddie doing. He is not doing his usual routine he does during his solo." Man number 2 on side of stage: "I have no idea man, It's Eddlie Fucking Van Halen...Let the man cook!" LOL Thanks for the upload...Hopefully one day Wolf/Alex will release something like this on Blu-Ray 4k format!!!!
Similar aspects to the Eruption solo from Live Without A Net video with subtile differences, but great video none the less. My first & only time to see VH was the first year with Sammy during the 5150 tour. It was a great show, wish I had seen them again, but I either didn't have the funds, or other things prevented it. Never the less, it still ranks as one of the best concerts I've ever seen.
surprised how much of the live without a net solo is here. he was at the top of his game for 5150...his guitar solo for the new haven concert was just incredible.
@@opiewilcox7728this isn’t coming down. I am the rightful owner… Someone else might have bought an illegal copy, but I’m the owner. And I do not strike people.
Those additional synths Eddie's playing at the beginning aren't just him noodling around to close out "Jump". That's the music he wrote and performed for the criminally underrated 80's teen comedy "The Wild Life". Most of the songs in the movie are instrumental demos of songs that would appear on the later Hagar albums. This one, however, is a song that plays during the end credits of the film, and is basically just additional stuff that I guess he chose NOT to include in "Jump".
@@MontourR Some guy did a strike on me - on my own video - and UA-cam, the schmucks they are, took it down! But I gave them what they needed to establish ownership. Please enjoy.
Wasn't there a section of the solo during this tour where he would engage a plexiglass part on the back of the guitar and play the guitar horizontally?
yea he’d do that during the arena shows when they were headlining, they were not headlining at monsters of rock and if I remember right the set wasnt entirely the same as when they were in the states im pretty sure they had to sacrifice some stuff
Lifelong Van Halen fan. I can’t help but think how fresh in time it was that the other 3members contractually screwed over Mike earlier during this tour. I lost some admiration after reading that
Yea same. I thought it was a coke paranoia dirtbag move. If you go back and watch interviews of them during this time and after with Sammy they treated him like second class. Not Sammy tho
@@tylerthompson1842 exactly…probably Mikes loyalty to the fans was the reason for staying on. Most would have thrown the new contract in their faces and walked. Leaving them high and dry right in the middle of their biggest tour. Actually wish he would have.
It was cringe worthy to hear about almost 40 years later but so much of the dysfunction of band was fueled by heavy drinking & coke consumption. Not condoning it but that was 80s.
By the mid 80s, shredders were already outplaying Eddie. Took people a few years to catch up but as for his techniques, people were able to do all that stuff by the 80s and what he had was his own sound and his own style and his creativity. People could outplay him and copy him but he was the one who really put flashy rock guitar on the map, really. Sure, there were others. Rory Gallagher and many, many other great players. Brian May was no slouch in the 70s. Holdsworth was from another planet. Just so many but Ed was the rock god of guitar and really dominated the late 70s and early 80s. Influenced a bazillion players. Very creative guy. Amazing stuff he came up with. I don't think he will ever be overlooked when electric guitar is brought up. Legendary stuff, man.
Only Elliot Easton and Keith Strickland blow Eddie away. Other than them, he’s the best.
I can think of plenty of guitarists who smoke elliot easton and keith strickland. None of them could touch eddie.
Pass that giant U Full A Shit Dooby U b smokin
Funny you mention Eliot Easton. I was talking to a buddy about him earlier today. Too overlooked and criminally underrated.
I love Easton a lot, but I think Jimmy Page, Alex Lifeson, John Sykes, George Lynch, Robbin Crosby, Warren DiMartini, Steve Clark, Adrian Vandenberg, Brad Gillis, Jake E. Lee, Vivian Campbell, Neal Schon, Matt Pike, Dimebag Darrell, John 5, Randy Rhodes etc are right at the top!
Literally Who?
Holy shit, this is pure gold!!!! It's absolutely ridiculous considering just how huge this band was at the time, that there is virtually no pro shot concert from this period. Thank you so much for sharing this!
Damn straight he still is too
Wow!!! This is the clearest video I’ve ever from any live event that Van Halen did in 1984. For some reason, 1984 seemed to be the year of either no video footage at all or really blurry and bad quality images of any band but for some reason, especially VH in ‘84. Great video!
The greatest and most valuable video on UA-cam.
Wow when Ed plays that blues riff I could listen to that all Day!!!!
been a VH Fan since seeing them at backyard parties in 76,,on the strip in 77...every DLR Tour, Thought I had seen it all... NEVER THIS THANK YOU
This is heaven and the best thing i have heard in 2 decades ,, thank you so so so so much!!! Absolutely wonderful.
At that time Eddie was unmatched...And in some ways he still is.
Nah, Malmsteen and Vai were killing it as well. Granted, Halen was it's own thing.
Warren de martini says hi
You guys are talking about who’s first on the next tier down. Eddie had no equal, much less no one greater 💯
He is because everyone that came after him copied him. The first time I heard Eruption I was wasn’t sure if I wanted to practice more or just quit!
@@petbush888All those guys mentioned came after and imitated his style. Eddie was the original, can’t be beat!
saw them around this time, eddie just owned the stage, he was mesmerizing when he soloed, he was just better than everyone else, the thing about all his amazing talents and tricks was they were always musical, a lot of people could do tricks but that's all they were, eddie turned his tricks into melodies.

Ya can't fix em..😂🤘
I was there! The only time I got to see the mighty VH!.
when it were is why
Lucky man.. how was that Panama encore?
Me too
Are you British? Because VH toured like crazy in the States over many years.
Lucky you 👍
May you rest in peace Sir Edward van Halen pure genius nobody before or after will never come close to your of mastery of guitar big inspiration to me just so sad you are no longer with us but I carry you in my heart every 24/7thank you for giving us the pleasure of you in my life
Rest in peace, Sir EDWARD Van Halen
They said Elvis was king of rock ‘n’ roll. Nope it’s you you are the king of rock ‘n’ roll.
This is by far the best EVH footage I have seen.....
out of tune!! spanish fly, very, very out of tune. It's why Ed didn't want this out!
you must be kidding
all the rare footage of Van Halen. Love it . . . thank god for uploaders like you on youtube of this stuff. King Edward
this whole show needs to get the blu-ray treatment.
Cant believe I’ve never seen this. probably one of his best live solos imo
I just came to check the comments before commenting that this solo is really unusual, I am a huge fan and I've never heard a lot of this. Usually on the stuff I've heard he sticks roughly to a basic plan that repeats. This has the standard sections but a lot that is different(including the out of tune section haha).
100% totally agreed. Much better than any of the later solos. Something about his energy, just purely, charismatic and on fire and on top of this game.
He was hammered and that was one of the WORST solos I’ve ever seen him do… I’ve seen him over 30 times
The best solo is in live without a net 1986
Incredible playing and tone.
@@FireBladeRR-RSP total agree
Maybe he was drunk but he wasnt in his best form. Happened to all guitar players
Eddie truly love the keyboard... He learned classical piano growing up...
I have no idea of the technical stuff fans are relating to - but to hear Eddie riff the blues is just killer! This is the most amazing and interesting solo I have heard from him ….
RIP the King ❤

he does his “blues” thing in the montreal 84 bootleg vid and tons of vids from the 5150 tour

He couldn't play the blues if his Wife depended on it.
He could surely play blues licks but that ain't the blues.

No, thats called styling life and get through the bullshit in awesome style mate.
The power of Halen supercharging your veins --- you HAD to play that Fender like your life depended on it
@@JoeZaccaris it was a Paul Reed Smith plugged into a Fender amp, boosted with a Carvin bass amp because the Fender had a tube go out.
I can’t believe I was at this concert!!! ❤❤❤
Not a pedal effects in sight, everything done with those genius hands, never be anyone close to him, Thank you Eddie 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
There is a pedal board below his mike stand. Watch it again. There is a fleeting moment you can see it. He tapped it to do the Cathedral like part of his solo.
Wake up Open your eyes there is a Pedal Board
Si que usaba, Chorus, Phaser, Flanger, Distordión
Eddie had a pretty elaborate pedal board --- but yeah most of his magic came from his fingers
wow!! i love the david lee roth early 80s van halen ....the best.....and 1984 was the best..!!!!!!
Yes 1984 was best by a long shot and all originals too!!!! Girl gone bad and I'll wait were there best work!!!
@@shanetobias291 can't argue with that!
Absolutely unbelievable nobody ever played guitar like this guy did

As tremendously rated as Eddie is, people have no idea. He is also incredibly under-rated.
I can't believe I never heard that Mike and Ed both played keys back then! At the same time!
The 84 tour yes.
The Master. You can just see the kid in the bedroom, never stopping, always playing.

3:46 - 3:56 You can tell Eddie was coked out of his mind. Of course this was a time when the powder was plentiful. 🤨😂

Wow EVH did a live solo that didn't contain all just snips of solos from their songs, very rare
The best in the Metal History
VH is not Metal. But its easy if you dont know nuance or the difference between hard rock and heavy metal.
Hair metal
@DVincentW
A brutal but honest assessment...Van Halen was never considered metal.
Although Fair Warning is extremely heavy in parts..
One Foot Out The Door is an amazing track!!.
No. Just hard ass guitar rock baby
Of course they are. Heavy Metal or Metal is a subgenre of Rock with many sub subgenres like Hair Metal and even Hard Rock.
